[quote=Caits] Connor heard an "atta boy, Stark!" Recognised the voice as Ben's, a whoop that he knew came from Austin. He searched for familiar voices, rather than the whole crowd. Kijani's was of course strongest and loudest, given she was right next to him.So he he breathed in and out slowly. His shaking stopped, but he still didn't like the attention. But he very well couldn't flee, now could he? So he took comfort im the fact that Kijani's hand was in his."Yeau, but I am only dressed like this because of Anthony" he heard himself say, "so technically, I owe him more now"When she started to dance, he tried to copy her and probably failes miserably. [/quote] "Well, if Anthony comes looking for payment, you tell him I'm covering your 'debt'." They danced for a while longer. "Whew... You wanna take a break, get some punch?" She grinned at Connor, figuring he probably needed a little time to recharge. [quote=knight125] John laughs, "You're better than me." He leans back, looking at the stars for a few minutes. He then asks, "How did you hear about the Academy?" [/quote] Devika looked up as well, leaning back against the lawn chair. It was a lovely night. "Well, my parents know a lot of people, and those people know people... they've taken some very interesting cases, so I guess they had ties to the super community before I was even part of the family. When I mentioned my powers were getting the better of me, they asked around for solutions. Someone must have mentioned the Academy, so..." She shrugged slightly. "Here I am."
